ok I think it is C. Because I was taught, the son translates to "are"

Answer 1

ok I think it is C. Because I was taught, the son translates to "are"

OK. Not a bad guess. Son does mean 'are'. 'Las flores' is plural, and 'son' is for plural also. So you're right about that. But the están in B also means 'are' and is also plural. So the answer is B or C.

Check the definition for the English verb to be and look at the difference in how ser and estar are used in Spanish.

p.s. I almost missed your guess. Just as a suggestion, when you update your question, it is best to post it as an 'answer', rather than edit your original question. That is how everyone knows that more has been added to the discussion.

I agree with chaparrito, it's either B or C. So which verb is used for "location"? - Goyo, Nov 22, 2009
